• 1:19
  Speaker 1: but um i'm just like locked in and i'm less
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: like now when i see a bad comment I just
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: get rid of the notification and then I just literally, I'll,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I will respond to like the positive stuff.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Like people who are engaging and like, they're like, Oh dude,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: this is funny. Or, Oh yo, I'm from, I'm from
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: that your hometown too. Or, Oh yo, I live in
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: San Diego. Like whatever it is, like those people, I'm like,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: or they're like, yo, this was mad funny. Like I
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: got to follow you. Like I'll at least be like, yo, Hey,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: thanks for watching. Appreciate you. You know, like, cause I'm like,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: that's where I want to put my energy at is
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: like the positive people that are like, They're getting something
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: out of it, which is cool. Cause to me, that's
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: just the added thing, right? Like I look at it,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: like whoever was in the room, they got the real show.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: And then if you're just on your couch and you're scrolling,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: this is just like a bonus thing you got. Like,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: so if you thought that was cool and you laughed
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: in your couch, like that's pretty dope. Like I just
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: did the show for like the real people that were
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: there and you saw it on your phone and you
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: had a good experience.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: That's cool. You know what I mean?
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: And I look at the people that are not feeling
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: it just same way. I look at the people who like,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: don't like you at a show. Which there's always those people,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: you know, you see them that you could tell they
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: kind of make half eye contact with you. They feel
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: weird because like the crowd liked you and they laughed,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: but they, they hated you.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: They can't tell you, they can't walk up to you
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: and be like, Hey, you suck, man. Because everybody else
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: is telling you, Oh my God, you're good. Can I
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: buy your stickers?
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: And they don't want to go tell you suck because
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: it's real life now. So that, that miserable person also
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: exists on their couch, except they have like no emoji
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: as they know. no avatar and they could just say
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: whatever they want from the comfort of their house. You know,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: you're like, so that's what it is. Like I had
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: to realize that I'm like, some dude wrote that yesterday
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: on one of my posts. He goes, uh, last night
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I actually laughed, which was, I felt good for me
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: as a person. He goes, um, he goes, you're still
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: a lame from Rhode Island. This isn't funny at all.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: And I was like, I looked at his page and
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, this guy don't even got a picture.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: He's got like, he follows more people than follow him.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I'm like, man, this guy's just, This isn't even his
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: real Instagram.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Really? You know what I mean?
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: So I'm like, why am I going to take this guy?
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Something happened to him.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: This has nothing to do with me. Because you're originally
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: from East Coast.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, from East Coast.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Dude, what if it's just some jealous-ass old schoolmate classmate?
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Bro, and you know what's crazy? I thought that too.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, what if this is somebody who
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: just don't like me and they're mad to see that
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I'm actually still doing comedy or that anybody would even
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: find me funny, you know? And then, like I said,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: in that same moment, I thought about it like three
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: days before that. my high school football coach saw a
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: video and he followed me on Instagram and he like
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: sent me, he wrote like a nice message on my
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: post or whatever. And like, so I was like, man,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: like to me, that was like, that meant more and
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: affected my mood more than the guy who was being
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: a hater. Even if it was somebody who maybe really
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: knows me.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: How cool. I haven't seen my, my high school football
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: coach in 20 years. Like I haven't seen that guy
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: since I went to high school, you know, really, maybe
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I saw him like a year or two after I graduated. Like,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: and he's a cool guy. And like, that was pretty
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: dope that that dude was just on his Instagram and
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: just scrolling and he was like oh shoot look at
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: this dude who like this is the kid i coached
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: for track and football like oh yeah like that's my
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: guy like that was pretty cool so to me i
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: was like that's where i want to focus my attention
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: with it and hopefully i can keep that attitude bro
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: because i think there's no way if you're going to
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: be sensitive with the social media stuff there's no way
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: you're going to like survive in this yeah there's no
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: way you know and that's the thing it's hard because
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: like they're two different worlds i used to look at
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: it like oh, if these people on social media think
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I'm not funny, then like, maybe like I'm not doing,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: maybe I'm not good or whatever. And I'm just like,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: these are not the same things. Someone watching a video
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: of something that already happened is not them watching. You
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: know what I mean?
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: It's harder.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: And it's no matter what you do, the video could
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: be good. The audio could be good. It still might
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: not have you know what it is like that.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Magic in the room, in the room, that vibe of
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: the room. Yeah.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: The thing you can't feel that thing that when you
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: watch your set later and you go like, Oh, I
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: felt like I killed way more than that. Like the last, like, cause,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: but you can't replicate like the way the room feels
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: and the way that that room holds a laugh or whatever. Like,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: You can't get that. You don't duplicate that.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: You can't see the smiles from the back of the heads. Yeah. Yeah.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Because it's like there are people that you can see
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: the excitement and the joy in their face or the
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: anticipation of like, where is he going? Like, oh, my God,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: this is hilarious.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: And so I'm trying to get I'm trying to just
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: lock into like that is the that is the experience.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: And then this thing is a supplemental piece to what
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I do. This isn't like this. It doesn't justify me
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: in any way. And the same way that if I
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: get a bunch of followers, it doesn't help me. It
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: doesn't change anything. I can still go bomb tomorrow. Like,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like, I could still go
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: on some, I could still go up at some bar
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: show and have to eat shit on stage for 30
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: minutes for, like, a bunch of locals at a bar. Like,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: it doesn't change. Just because you have 10,000 followers, you
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: have 100,000 followers, a million followers, it doesn't change that, like,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: when you go on stage to do the thing you
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: really like, it could still, like, you know, that feeling of, like,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: it could go either way. That's the excitement of getting
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: on stage is, like, you don't know how it's going
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: to go.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: You don't. It is live. It is like, you know, you.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Might have a weird heckle. You might have like a
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: person who's just, you know, that person was not having
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: a good time. Arms like that guy in the front row.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: They're like, you're killing and he hates you. And you're like,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: why can't I win with this one guy? Like that
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: is like the that's the real sport of it. That's
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: the real like excitement of it. And then like the
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: social media thing is just like it is a piece.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I look at it like it's got to be like
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: if you're like an actor and you got to do
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: press and stuff like, yeah, you know, like you don't
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: wake up as an actor. I'm sure geeked up like
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to do this press run for this
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Avengers movie. You know, like, yeah, you want to do
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the cool thing where you got to pretend you were,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: you know, like you got to act, you know, like
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: you did the movie already.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: That was cool.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: But now you got to do all this other stuff
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: that's part of that. It's part of the game.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: So you can do it again. Exactly. Yeah.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm trying to like get my mind a
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: little more chill.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: But it's been, yeah. It's a trip, though, because when
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: I first started doing stand-up, I didn't sign up for...
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: The stand-up has completely differently changed because of that aspect.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I didn't sign up for this. I signed up to
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: get to a special that was special. I didn't get
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: up to just do... Hopefully, I could do 15 minutes,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: and I'm going to just kill with this five-second clip,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: and then I'm just going to get 15 minutes, and
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: then I'm going to... Because that was the thing, too.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: When I started realizing about comedy, I was like, oh...
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: They treat this like an entry-level position. Like, this is
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: what I want to do. Like, I love this. Like,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: I don't look at this and be like, this is
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: my stepping stone to get to the movie or to
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: get to that. I was like, yo, that's all secondary.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: That's a byproduct of me doing my passion. And I
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: was like, and I even hate the way I said passion,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: but that's kind of what it is. Like, we've talked
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: about it before, too, with other comics, too. It's like, yo,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: like that moment when you find that thing that you've
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: been trying to work at and now it works today.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: And you're like, there it is. And that's what I
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: do it for. And then it's like after I did
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: with that, like I got to do it again. I
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: got to figure it out on another spot. But it's
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: just a great– it's a good thing. But like I
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: said too, now we signed up– the comedy has changed
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: to where, yeah, the social media is definitely an effect.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: You do it. And I'm, like, trying to figure out
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: things that I don't mind doing consistently on social media
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: because it's, like, I'm not going to keep posting my
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: stand-up on there. You know, it's, like, so what else
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: do I want to do? And, like you said, I
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: feel hoed out, too, after a while. Like, oh, I
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: don't want to do challenges. I don't want to do
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: the trend. I'm not trying to dance on TikTok. And
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: some people are really good at, like.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: The talking head thing where they're just, like, in their
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: car talking or they're, like, on a walk and they
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: just have a funny idea. And, like, maybe they don't
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: have a show that week to go try to– That's
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the thing, too. You might. That's the problem, too, is
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: like when you do the talking to the camera thing,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: just to the phone, you could just say whatever is
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: there is done. But if you do go take that
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: idea on stage, then you look at it, you go, ah, well,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: it could be better. I could do this. And then
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: like the perfectionist and you start kicking in and you
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: keep trying to mess with it. I will say, like, yes,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: it's it's tough, man. Finding like what am I comfortable
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: with on the social media thing?
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: What?
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: You know, what is working for me? You know, that's
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: the other part, too. Sometimes something works and you're like, shoot,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: but I don't want to do that. Yeah, I don't
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: want to work. I think about it, too, with some
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: people I know who, like, either they pop off or, like, maybe, like,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: they do sketches or something and a character pops.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: And it's like, well, now you're, like, that character. Or, like,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: if you have, like, a gimmick and now, like, you know, like, not, like,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: in a bad way. I don't mean gimmick in a
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: bad way. But, like, if you're a wrestler, if you're
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: a wrestler. And you do a gimmick, and that becomes you.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: You don't get to just be like, oh, I don't
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: want to be the guy who's– like, I don't want
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: to be the undertaker no more. It's like, no, no,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: you're the dead guy, bro. That's your thing.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Put on the costume and shut the fuck up. Exactly.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Come out in the hat. Roll your eyes in the
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: back of the head. Like, this fat guy is going
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: to carry an urn around you. And even if you're
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: not like, oh, dude, I don't like– You don't get
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: to decide. When it's over, then maybe you get a
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: chance to rebrand, try again, do some different stuff. So
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: when I think about, like, people getting stuck into a gimmick,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: I don't think even about it. Like, I literally think, like, oh,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: if I was a wrestler and I popped for this one.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Thing, Mm-hmm.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Like, what the hell? Like, you're Yokozuna, dude. And, like,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: that guy is not Japanese, bro. Dude is Samoa. And, like,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: he had to be Japanese because this works. You know, like.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: If it's a man who's like, still, I don't give
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: a fuck about Samoa.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Or, like, if you do impressions or something and then
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: you want to do, say you want to do a
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: shitload of impressions, but you pop doing, like, one impression.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Then you're out.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: And now you're always doing that impression. Like, you got
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: to have some real gumption about you, like, to, like.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: i'm gonna do these other ones even if they're not
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: hitting because i'm gonna show people i can do a
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: bunch of impressions i'm not just the guy who does
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: charles barkley yeah i can do a bunch of things
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: you know and it's hard dude because when something works
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: bro like the algo wants you to keep chucking it
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: out feeding it feeding that's what it wants you know
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: so yeah it's hard man when especially like you said
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: when that's not the main thing that's not what you
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: want to do and i think that's where some people
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: it's you know that shit starts sucking your soul bro
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: and it's like And then what happens when you do
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: get on stage? Are you still motivated the way you
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: used to be? Do you still care the way you
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: used to care?
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: It's hard. Or even it takes away from the writing process.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Now I'm like, I'm so focused on what's the next skit,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: what's not the next bit. So it's like, it fucks
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: me up. It's so funny, you're talking right now too
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: about wrestlers and stuff, and I was like, oh, he's
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: of age? Because you're referencing Undertaker, Yokozuna, and shit like that.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: That's hella funny. It's so funny because comics, I've noticed
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: that too about comics, they're hella into wrestling. Like, I
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: stopped watching wrestling, but, like, I'm not, I don't mind
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: or anything like that, but, like, it got too much. Like,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: it got, like, I couldn't pay attention to everything now.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: So, I just got back into wrestling. So, like, I
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: grew up watching wrestling as.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: A kid, right?
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: WWF before it became WWE, WCW. And I was, like,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: a kid. So, I was born in 87, like, growing
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: up in the 90s. Like, my pops was a young guy.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: My dad had me when I was 18, so. He was, like,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: into wrestling. He let me watch wrestling. And I just
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: was always watching wrestling all the way probably until, like,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: when I got to high school. And then I stopped watching. Like, whenever, like,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: John Cena kind of popped off, I kind of was
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: done already. So I didn't know what was going on
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: for a while. And then I was, like, in grad school,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: and I was living in Wisconsin. I was living in
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee for, like, a summer.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: And there was a SummerSlam was in Chicago. So they
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: did a house show in Milwaukee like two days before.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: And I, and it was the first time I'm like,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: I grew up now with money. I have money now.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: And then I was like, I'm gonna buy a front
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: row tickets. I got like front row tickets. I went
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: to this show that was not televised. It's a dark,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: like a high dark house show. And I watched like
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: all these wrestlers basically run the matches the day before
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: two days before I'm watching all these, all these wrestlers.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I kind of grew up watching. I'm like, well,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: this is pretty dope. And I thought it was cool
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: to go. And then I was done. Like I didn't
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: get back into wrestling. And then I was, uh, my
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: girlfriend who I've been dating for a couple of years now,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: we were, she lives in Arizona. We were taking a
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: ride back to Arizona last year around the holidays. And, uh,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: we were just talking about, you know, it's five and
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: a half hours. We're just talking about life. And I
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: was talking about, you know, as a kid, I was
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: so into wrestling. I loved wrestling. And she was like, Oh,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: that's pretty cool. And then she's Mexican. So I was like,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: I was like, did you ever get into like, like
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: growing up? Like in Tijuana, did you like Lucha stuff?
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: And she was like, not really, but like, it's, it's,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: it's interesting. And I was like, yeah, I would, I
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: would be down to like, I would love to go
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: to like raw or SmackDown or something. And she was like, Oh,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: I would totally go. And I was like, nah, no way.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: And she was like, I swear to God, I would go.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: That sounds fun. So, dude, I literally, on the car ride,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I looked at my phone and Raw, or no, no,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: SmackDown was coming to Phoenix in, like, literally a week
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: after that conversation. So I bought tickets. We went to SmackDown.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Had the most fun at the live event. Like, had
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: the most fun at SmackDown.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: And we were, like, into it.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: But we didn't really know much about what was going on.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: I'm piecing it together. Then I saw it. TikTok, my
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: algorithm started being all these wrestling dudes, like, wrestling commentators
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: talking about, like, reaction videos.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: So I would keep up like that, and I would
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: know just enough now that if I had to watch it,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: I at least.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Knew who the players were. Yeah.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: And so, dude, literally, like, a year went by. Almost, like,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: six months went by. Then Raw came to Phoenix. We
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: went to Raw. And, like, and then, dude, to the
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: point where two or three weekends ago, we were watching,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: because WWE now owns the Mexican company, AAA. They own
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: that now. So we were watching on YouTube like a AAA,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: like a pay-per-view, basically, on YouTube. And we were watching
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: it live and dialed in. We had a guy we
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: were cheering for, dude. And it was so much fun. So, yeah,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: getting back into wrestling, I have noticed, though, that there's
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of comics that they've been into it. They're
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: still into it. They're, like, deep in the wrestling game.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're deep into it. He used to be my roommate,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Chris Tinkle. They went– and, and, and in Vegas they
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: have the, the, the, the WrestleMania and he's always there.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: He's always there. And I was like, dude, I totally
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: lost track of it all. And cause like, like I
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: think I stopped watching, I don't know. I can't, I
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: probably was like, I want to say like 94, 95.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: And it was like, I remember like survivor series and
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: all that stuff and the Royal rumble. And, um, but like, I, I,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: I just like, it got too much. Cause like fools
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: were jumping sides and I was like, who's good now
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: and who's bad now. And I was like, yeah, you
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: know what?
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I'm, And that was peak time where guys would leave
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: one company, go to the other company.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, go to WCW.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: They'd have to change their name and stuff because they
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: didn't own, like, you know, like Scott Hall doesn't own
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: the Razor Ramon name.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: So he can't go be Razor Ramon. He's got to
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: be somebody else. And, yeah, dude, I, man, that was
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: my childhood, dude, begging my parents to, like, you had
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: to call on pay-per-view. You had to order it. You
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: had to call the phone, and then they would turn
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: it on on your TV. Like, I used to be like,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: I remember as a kid I would ask my dad, like,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: you know, you don't have to buy me a birthday present. Like,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: can you please get us this pay-per-view? Like, we need
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: to watch. There was nothing more, like, lame than going
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: to school the next day and not knowing. And then
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I had a lot of homies that, like, their parents had, like,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: They had the black box, so they was watching.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Remember that.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: They was stealing cable.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Yep, remember that.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: And my dad's over here being an upstanding citizen, so
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: he's not stealing cable. And so, like, you know, I
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: got to beg him to pay money so I can
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: see what's going on.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: So me and my brother, man, oh, man, so many
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: injuries of us, like, trying to wrestle each other in
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: the house, trying to do moves on each other. My
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: dad come home, my brother's neck's all weird. He's like,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: what the hell were you doing? I was like, I
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: was trying to give him the pile driver.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: I was trying to hit him with the razor's edge, doc. Yeah, dude.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I was locked in on it, but now it's been funny.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Like I, I look at wrestling, I think through like
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: a comic lens, like almost like how, like, just like, just,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: I look at it like art. Like to me, that's
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: what it is. Like I look at it like the writing.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: You know, like the writing, like I said, like the
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: gimmick thing, like I brought that up. Cause there was, um,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: so there was a dude, uh, not the, I won't,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: it won't be one, but Chad Gable, the wrestler, kind
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: of like a Kurt Angle type, real wrestler guy. He, uh,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: he got hurt. He, he, they had a gimmick where
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: he was pretending to be a luchador. So he was
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: called El Grande Americano. But he didn't speak English. He
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: didn't speak Spanish. He only spoke English. But he was
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: acting like a luchador. But he was super like, oh,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: like American. America, everything was America. El Grande Americano. He
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: would say he's from the Gulf of America. It was
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: like a troll thing, right? And then he, during that
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: run of being El Grande Americano, got hurt for real.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: And so the gimmick and the character was rolling. So
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: they had this other guy take over as El Grande Americano.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Except Chad Gable's, like, short. Like, five-something. And this other
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: dude who takes over, Kaiser Ludwig, is like... He's a
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: German dude who's, like, 6'2. So he's tall. So now
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: El Grande Americano is this tall, skinny guy. But this dude,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: he speaks Spanish. He learned all about Mexican culture. And
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: so he turned the El Grande Americano character into... into
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: like a baby face down in Mexico and they love him.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: And he's become this like superstar where, so you got
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: to think like, think about how funny the gimmick is.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: It's an American guy. Pretending to be a Mexican luchador.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: And then you've got a German guy pretending to be
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: an American guy pretending to be a Mexican luchador. It's
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: like Tropic Thunder type shit. I'm the dude playing the
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: dude playing another dude. So the match we watched a
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: couple weeks ago, it was a mask versus mask. So
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: whoever lost had to take off the mask. It would
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: be the real El Grande Americano. Me and my girl
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: watched this on YouTube. It was like a 45-minute fight.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: We watched it live. And I'm talking about we were
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: fully invested. Every time it was almost a pin, we
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: were like, no. And then when El Grande Americano, the
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: real one, the tall one, the one who's puro Mexicano.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: That dude, he learned slang. Dude, he comes out with
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: a mariachi band. They do the national anthem. He throws
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: the arm up. Dude, and to me, I'm watching it going,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: this guy... is all the way in on the game.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? But I look at it, too.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Sometimes people look at a comic who maybe blows off
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: crowd work, and they keep doing crowd work, and they go, oh,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: this guy with the crowd work. It's like, bro, imagine
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: you've been fighting for your life for 15, 20 years
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: of the stand-up, and then this crowd work stuff you
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: do pops. And now I got mad fans, and I tour. What,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: I'm just supposed to just not do crowd work anymore
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: and post clips because you think it's hack or you
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: don't like it? Like, bro, these guys got to eat.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: If this dude doesn't lean into the Grande Americano thing,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: He's never going to be that big as the German
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: guy he was before. That guy is never going to
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: be the guy. But now he's got this chance with
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: this character and this gimmick. And I just think it's
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: cool that he's like, you know what? I'm going to
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: make the most of it and squeeze everything out of
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: the orange I can. I'm going to get whatever I can. So, yeah,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: I'll be watching the wrestling stuff just looking at it like, man,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: I look at it from this lens of storytelling.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: And all that. Who was your favorite back in the day?
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Back in the day, man, I was like– sean michaels
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: i like stone cold the rock was my guy oh
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: the rock i like the rock cutting promos oh the
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: rock used to just like somebody would start talking it
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter like the rock he was just so good
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: at like the promos he would kill me and uh
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: i just like i like the talking aspect of it
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: how old are you i'm 38 I'm 39, yeah, I'm
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: 39 in October.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because that was funny, because when you said The
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Rock and stuff like that, I remember when I got
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: back into stand-up around 2008, because I stopped for like six,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: seven years, and all the comics were, and they were
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: talking about The Rock, they were like, oh, The Rock
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: is the greatest, because they go, his promos, they go like,
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: the writing is just so funny, like it's just hilarious,
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: his His digs and his comebacks. And I was like, oh,
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: that's so funny. I was a big fan of Ultimate Warrior. Yeah.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: And then Brett the Hitman. I really like Brett the
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Hitman because he's a Raider fan. So it was like
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: I would catch him at Raider games. Like, you know,
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: it was like, oh, yeah, yeah. So he still goes. Well,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: not anymore. That was in Oakland. I don't know if
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: he goes to the Vegas ones. But, yeah, man, I've
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: watched some of those documentaries, too. And I'd be like,
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: it'd be mad sad, though.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: That lifestyle. That lifestyle is crazy. I mean, these guys
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: now are reaping the benefits, you know. I'm sure it's
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: the way. And like I said, like, I just look
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: at it from, like, I'm sure it's the way old athletes,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: old comics, like, the way they look at, like, the
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: money that's involved now when you really pop.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Like, the way you don't gotta grind, air quotes, grind,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: the way that they had to.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: So they look.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: At it like, oh, these guys, they only gotta, you know, like,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: wrestlers back in the day used to wrestle 300 days
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: a year.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Like, they would, you know, like, there's the famous story
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: of Hulk Hogan, like, lying about how he would, like,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: fight twice in one day or three times in one day, technically,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: because he would fight this one fight in Japan, and
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: then he would fly all the way to, like, America. And, like,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: it's like, brother, time doesn't work like that.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Like, you're ridiculous.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: But, like, these guys used to fight, like, all the
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: time through injuries, you know, shooting up to get through
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: pain and all this other stuff. And the guys now, like,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: you know, they wrestle on, you know, they fight on
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Monday on raw and then they have like the week
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: off to chill kind of, and they work out and
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: then they go to a pit, you know, they don't work.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: They don't work the same.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: But you know, I think it's a different game now
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: with like, you know, where, what they can do, what
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: they can like back in the day, you could be
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: like Hulk Hogan and macho man.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: And you could go to Des Moines, Iowa and you
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: could leave the motel for the night and go get
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: just shit faced at a bar and get into a
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: bar fight as Hulk Hogan, and there's no phones with
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: cameras on them to prove it ever happened. You know
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: how many stories have to be like that? There's some
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: dudes like, yo, I saw the Ultimate Warrior without his
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: face paint. I whooped his ass, dude. And you're just like, yeah, okay, brother.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: And who knows? Maybe some guy did put hands on
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: a drunk Ultimate Warrior.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: That could have happened.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: But you'll never know.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: There's no documentation.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Dude, Wenbin Yama got hit with an egg in the
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: head last night. And it was on the internet last night.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: He can't pretend it didn't happen. They threw an egg
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: at Wenbin Yama. Hit him in the head.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: I used to do this bit about how I wouldn't
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: want to be a kid in high school now. Because
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: if you get your ass whooped, they would just talk
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: about it the next day at lunch. And maybe by
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: the end of the year, they'd be like, oh yeah,
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: what's your name? Fought that one for that time. No,
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: it's recorded, doggy. It's there all the time. Your ass
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: whooping will be right on repeat.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: The way the fight would evolve over time... Dude, the
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: fight would evolve over time. Like, it'd be like, yeah,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: these two girls were fighting in the hallway. You remember
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Ronda pulled a curling iron out her bag and busted
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: the other girl's head open. She was bleeding everywhere. No
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: one bled. But, like, the story could just get crazy
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: because there's no proof. Now some kid would be like, nah,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: if you look right here, she really choked her out
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: pretty clean.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Dude, the first times, like, I started realizing that was, like,
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: when I was talking about how, like, when I would
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: retell the fight, Like, that was my time to be
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: a comic, where I was like, yo, like, hey, then
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden, hey, dude, you ever see the,
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: when the da-da-da, and then before you know it, like,
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: everyone's more laughing at the story now than the fight, actually,
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: because I'm having fun with it. Like, what you call it? Yeah, yeah,
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: it was some, it was, the retelling of a fight
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: was the best, but now it's like, that's gone, because, like, yeah,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: the phone is there.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Like, yeah, people want to know, well, for real, what, like,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: they want, like, they want to see it. Like, I
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: need to, like.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but more to your point, too, about, like, the old-timers, like,
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: with the, like, the thing, like, even... Like you said,
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: even in sports as well, like, you know, LeBron taking
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: days off and all these old heads are like, yo,
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Michael Jordan did a flu game, doggy. Like, how are
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: you going to take a day off? Like, you ain't even,
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: you're not nice like that. But it's like, you know,
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: and I feel personally for me, I feel the game
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: is changing. And the problem with that, though, that I
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: have is that the game is getting less and less better. Like,
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: I don't feel like, I don't see like any of
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: the games getting better, like, And I don't want to
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: be that old head who was like, oh, back in
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: my day, we had a really good da-da-da. But the
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: proof is in the pudding. Like, on one thing, I
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: always talk about how Eddie Murphy's raw and delirious and,
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: you know, John Leguizamo's freak. I mean, it's a one-man show,
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: but still, like, it's 90 minutes long and it's amazing.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: One of my favorite things I've ever watched in my life.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: It's amazing. It's such a great show. Personally, I think
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: criminally underrated.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Dude, it's so underrated.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: John Leguizamo freak. It's criminally underrated. That's another one of
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: those things where, like, I was young and I remember
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: my dad had HBO, and when I watched that, There
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: was a couple of things. I watched Dave Chappelle killing himself.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: And when I watched John Leguizamo freak, I was like.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Yo, this dude is amazing.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Criminally underrated.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: And it's like, everyone, like I said, I always said
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: to stipulate, I was like, I know it's a one-man show,
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: but it's just, it doesn't matter. That shit is just
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: so good. And I remember one time I had a roommate,
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: he was a comic, he was a younger comic, and
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: then he was telling me all his inspirations and all
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: his comics that he liked. I was like, they're garbage.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Everyone you liked is garbage. I was like, I go, da-da-da-da,
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: and I said, John Lewis. He's like, John Lewis was
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: on when it was comedy? I go, fucking John Lewis.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: I was like, hold on. I was like, you've never
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: seen The Freak? He's like, no. So we put it on,
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: and then we watched it all, and he was like,
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: that was amazing. I go, that's 90 minutes, dog. Like,
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: the things that I watched that inspired me to be
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: a comedian made me time travel. Like, that's how good
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: it was. Like, I didn't know. Like, the last joke
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: was said. I'm like, what? It's over already? That was
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: an hour? And I go, but now, like we said,
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: the game is so saturated and watered down that, like,
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: The proof is in the pudding right when you see
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: what their special is. I've seen a lot of specials
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: where I'm like, I look at my watch now. I'm
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: not time traveling. I'm like, yo, there's 40 minutes left.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: We're 20 minutes in? Dog, this is different. It's crazy.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: But it is what it is. And all I could
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: do is just still, like you said too, just be you.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: Just keep doing you.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you just got to keep on figuring and just
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: keep on chipping away at this stuff. I will say
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: the one thing recently that changed a little bit for me.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: I think one of the reasons I've been posting clips...
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: lately and it's been like there's like crowd interaction stuff
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: here and there kind of like throw away stuff i'm
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: like whatever if this doesn't even go i don't care
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: i'm just doing it to feed the beast but when
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: i watched some of the kevin hart show that came
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: out on netflix oh the funny af and i realized
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: that a lot of the folks on that show some
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: who i know and i like them as comics like
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: a lot of the stuff they were doing were things
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: jokes they had already posted before things that were in
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: like a don't tell set. And I was just like, oh,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: like it really don't matter no more. Like the whole
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: thing about burning your material.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: It doesn't even matter.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: It doesn't really matter. Like you're going to keep evolving
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: the thing anyways. It's kind of going to change. You
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: can repost the same joke in four months and it'll
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: go again. And a bunch of people who didn't see
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: it the first.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Time are going to see it.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: And I used to be so against it. The only
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: way I'm going to be able to post clips is
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: if I do crowd work. And I don't do crowd work.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: I get on stage to do my act, right? Now,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: if something happens and me and a person have a
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: genuine interaction or conversation, I'm cool with that because I'm
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: always doing that. to steer myself back to what i'm
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: doing anyways yeah like i'm not doing that because like
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: i need i know i need a way to get
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: to it yeah i'm not a what do you do
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: for work type of guy like i might ask hey
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: does anybody have kids oh how many kids do you
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: have like because i'm interested because i'm gonna tell a
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: joke about how i don't have kids yeah and i've
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: been thinking about kids more and so i'm really just
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: engaging with you because i'm curious because like you're a
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: person who has a thing i don't have and i
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: want to talk to you yeah just as a bridge
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: maybe right but I'm not doing crowd work intentionally. Like
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not going up and wasting an eight minute, 10
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: minute set on like a random show that I'm doing,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: like working some stuff out to just be like, Oh,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: what do you do for work? Like I'm not doing that.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: So I used to think that was the only way
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: you could do the clips though. It had to be
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: crowd work. And now I'm just like, kind of after
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: seeing some of these guys that like you realize, and
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: sure there's people who go back to an old clip
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: from like somebody and go, yo, he did this joke
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: four years ago. And you're like, yeah, you know, it's
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: crazy before he posted that joke four years ago, he
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: did that joke for three years before that.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: And he was figuring it out. Like, and guess what?
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: He's still funny. It's still funny. And that's why I
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: had to get over the whole you got to burn
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: it thing. I'm like, whatever, bro.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Who knows?
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: And you know what? All the time I spend wasting
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: not posting a clip or a bit or whatever because
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: I'm worried about someone's going to see it is just
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: time that the thing I was hoping for didn't happen yet.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: So if I just lock in and if I just go,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: we'll see where it lands. And maybe someday I'll look
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: back and go. I should not have posted all that shit.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: I did it wrong. But I don't know, bro. All
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: I know is the way I was trying to get followers,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: the way I was trying to get views, that shit
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: was not working. So if this don't work, cool. But
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: I got to do something. And so seeing those guys
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: do material that maybe, well, obviously they trust it because
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: they're trying to win the competition, right? But also that
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: no one's been holding it against them. Like, oh, this
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: dude did some old joke from, nah, this dude did
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: a banger because he's trying to get a Netflix special.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: Another one. Okay, okay. No, and more to your point, too,
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: it's funny because, like, I had a bit that went
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: viral and they were like, people were like, oh, you
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: stole this from Chris Rock. And then I was like,
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: I go, this joke that I supposedly stole from Chris Rock,
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: they recorded this two years before his special came out.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: So this is already– because I didn't post the joke
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: that went viral. It's another Laugh After Dark did. And
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: I was like, they recorded this other thing like two
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: years prior to that special. And I go, before that,
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: like you said too, I go, I wrote that joke
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: 15 years ago. And then I posted the YouTube clip,
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: and it has a timestamp of me because I just
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: have it. And it's me saying the joke at an
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: open mic. And then they wrote underneath it, well, why
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: the fuck are you doing it for 15 years still later?
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, because you've just seen it. Like, that's. Facts. Yeah, yeah. And. Oh, fuck.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: There was something else, too, that you said.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: That I was like, oh, no, no, no.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: Fuck, I ADD'd out. But what you got? I'm sorry.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: So we're going to get to the second part. Second
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: part of the podcast. We're going to do trivia. And
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: just to fuck around, break up monotony and stuff like
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: that and so Nikki's gonna help us out with that
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: cause she comes up with all the questions.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: I wanna be very clear I am bad at trivia

• 30:05
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: The unicorn is the national animal of what country?
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, I know this one, though, because I've seen this before,
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: and so I know it.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: There's a country that has the unicorn.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: As their national animal. That's so funny.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Is there a whimsical country? They're like whimsical?
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: They're whimsical.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: Bro.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: But they're not a whimsical country, I wouldn't say. No.
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: I don't have any. I'm going to go Finland.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Close. It's up north in northern Europe. Yeah. Very close.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: It's Scotland.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Really? Scotland, yeah.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Scotland.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Wow. You know what's funny? I was talking with another,
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: because I did this question with another comic, and I go,
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know if Scotland got cooler. I think it
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: got cooler.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: Hell yeah.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Because it's like, yeah, they're like... I feel like they're
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: trying to clean up there. The PR person was like, yo,
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: we need to check.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: I would not have guessed Scotland.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: But I was just, I was, see, guessing Finland was
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: just because I was like, maybe it's a country that's
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: like kind of blah.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Like on paper. But like, they like, you know, they're
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: trying to rebrand.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: What the hell does Finland do? It's like, I don't know.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know. We don't know what we do.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: They fish a lot.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Listen, the World Cup's going right now, so I'll name
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: a bunch of countries.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: I'm ready.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: We're going to go into more of the science category.
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: What percentage of the universe is made of dark matter
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: and dark energy?
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: What percentage of the universe?
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: Are you Googling, Carlos?
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: No, Ernst is hitting me right now.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: Classic Ernst.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Shout out to Brett. He's the reason I moved to California.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah?
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: No kidding.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: I did a show with him when I was like
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: an open mic-er kind of still before I moved to
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: California at Comics Mohegan Sun. And I was a year
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: into comedy, and I opened a show he popped in on,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: and he made the host give fake credits for him,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: which was funny. And then when I got off stage,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: he goes, how long have you been doing comedy? I
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: was like, a year. You're not bad. And he's like,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: you know, you don't have to stay in Rhode Island
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: for your whole life.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: You can leave.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah. I told him what my
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: job was, my day job. He's like, you can do
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: that anywhere. He's like, get as close to New York
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: or L.A. as possible and then just build from there.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: So I moved to California because of Bretters. Shout out
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: to Brass, my guy. Also, he would let me hang
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: in green rooms I shouldn't be in and make people
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: take pictures of me when I wasn't even on the show. Like,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: he's just a good dude. I'm going to say 93%
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: of the universe is dark matter.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: Carlos, you got an answer?
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Universe is big, dog.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say 87 for the year he was born. Oh, dang.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: That's not good.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: But I'm going to give it to Rui because it's 96. Oh, nice.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: That's his fucking pool.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: That's hardcore.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: Oddly enough, kind of keeping in the science category, what
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: notable astronomer penned the 1980 best-selling book Cosmos?
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, I know. I think I do.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: Shoot, I don't.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go L. Ron Hubbard.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: What do you think?
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, maybe not. Shoot.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: I don't even know, but I was going to say
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Neil deGrasse Tyson.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: Both good guesses. It's Carl Sagan.
• 33:04

  Speaker 1: of the Halloween movies.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: I think he did two, but he didn't like Harvey Weinstein.
• 36:23

• 37:09
  Speaker 4: which animal comes from the Chinese zodiac cycle?
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: Which animal comes first in the Chinese zodiac cycle?
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: The first animal in the Chinese zodiac, I'm going to
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: say a bull.
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: Good guess.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go rabbit.
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: Both good guesses. It's actually the rat.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: I was going to say the rat next.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: I don't want to be that guy, though. I'll be
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: the fucking rat.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: This one's not so much trivia.
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: It's more like, I guess, when people take a lot
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: of data input. But what is the number one item
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: people accidentally leave at work?
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: The number one item.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: This is like family food type stuff.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: The number one item people leave.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: I would say keys.
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: Good guess.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say an umbrella.
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: We don't have that problem in Vegas, but good guess
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: is it's actually phone chargers.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's an updated version of this question.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a recent survey.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I guess it's also the thing, like, they
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: leave the most. I just think I always find that
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: when I was on the East Coast, it might be
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: raining or something during the day, and then, like, you're
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: at work all day, and then you go out at lunchtime,
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: and it's not raining. And then you go, oh, we're
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: done with the rain thing, and you just leave, and
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: you don't even use it. And then you get to
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: your house, and you're like, I don't got my phone.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: And tomorrow you're just getting rained on. But you're right, though.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Other places.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: I always make it to the car, and I'm like, oh,
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: I forgot the fucking keys. They're on my desk.
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: Classic.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: All right, we're going to go for our final question.
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: So you can wager. You have two points, three.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: Carlos, you have one.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, two, because you knew the answer to the first question, too.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: You would be real honest about that.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: I don't want to cheat or anything like that.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: All right, so you can wager all your points or
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: a point.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: He's all in. You wager on a one? Yeah, just
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: by one. If you wager one, you automatically win. Yeah.
